A VALENTINE.

If I could bring the brightest gems
From Natures richest treasure nifne--
Diamond, ruby and amethyst,
Shining pearls that the waves have kissed.
I'd string them in one radiant twist
To make my love Valentine
II could find the rarest flowers
That over all the wide world shine
The edelweiss, with true love power,
The aloe and the spirit flower
I'd pluck them all in one glad hour
To make my love Valentine.
II could catch the fieeting beams
OF bright Aurora rays divine,
And keep the CLEAN of sunset skies,
And hold the rainbow's wondrous dyes,
I'd take the glow that in them lies
To paint my love Valentine.
II could chain the lightnings flash
And spin 1t in a golden line.
And keep the starry flakes of snow,
I'd bind them with the lightning so
That frost and fire should blend and glow
To make my love Valentine
But since these wishes may not be,
And nothing rich or rare is mine,
Except my heart and love so true
This painted flower of dainty blue
Shall bear them, with the wish that you
VIII always be my Valentine

BLEACHED DIAMONDS.
Clever Method of Increasing the Value
of Inferior Stones.

Every one, of course, knows some
thing about paste diamonds and Paris
diamonds and the thousand-and-one
limitations of this gem of great price.
And most people, we imagine, know the
various tests by which the genuineness
of a stone is established; but the revela-
tons made at the Marylebone police
court the other day will probably be
news to some of us. As to the case it.
self, we need say no more than that the
prisoners were committed for trial; but
certain facts came out during the in
quiry which possess considerable inter-
est for the public, or at least for those
of the public who are the happy owners
of diamonds. That there should be any
means whereby yellow diamonds, which
are worth about one-seventh of white
diamonds of the same size, can be
bleached-for that is what the manipu-
ation amounts to-so rs to deceive an
expert is enough to cause very serious
disquietude in many a fair bosom. But
MIR. Streeter went even further than this,
for he gratuitously informed the magis-
trate that about two years ago French
nan succeeded in foisting upon the Lon
Ion market some $4,000 worth of dia-
nonds which had thus been chemically
improved. 1t would be interesting to
know what has become of those dia-
nonds. What has become of their
doubtless numerous successors. So val
liable an invention has certainly not
been permitted to lie idle.-St. James
gazette.

A Thieving Marshal.
From Me Yo1tth's Conlpanion.


When Augereau was made marshal-duke,
the Partisan workingnen received the appoint
ment as a compliment to their class; for the
marshal was born in Paris, his father was ma
son. his mother was a street fruit vender, and
he himself had worked as mason, served as q
waiter, and won promotionlhS a soldier. He had
one merit a soldier he was as brave as the
bravest, though poor general He was also
good to his mother, who lived to see her boy a
duke and marshal.
Once at at state pageant, where he was
arrayed in the plumed hat and purple mantle of
a Senator, he gave her his arm in public amid
the applause of the market women.
He was, however, an inveterate looter, as were
Soult and Massena and plundered palaces and
churches But he was so ignorant of the value
of the things he stole that he sold pictures,
jewelry and silver plate for any sum that was
offered him in ready money He was caught
once and yet dared not open his mouth.
On his return from the Spanish campaign he
brought to Paris robe, encruSted with dia-
monds and rubes, which he had stripped from
a statue of the Virgin Mary in a Biscayan church.
One night he went to the house of Jew re-
ceiver with the robe rolled up under his cloak.
The Jew was out, but his wife was n and she at
once took Augereau in.
She pronounced the jewels paste limitations,
but offered him 10 louis for the lace.
'Ah, those brigands of priests!' exclaimed
the Disguised marshal pocketing the money.
A few months afterward Augereau, ascertain
ing that the jewels were genuine, went in fury
to make the Jewess disgorge. She received him
calmly, and looking him straight in the eye,
said: We will have the jewels appraised in
court, if you like

The Mask Off.

1t is quite common for Republicans to
take credit for whatever good is in the civil
service law. They claim to be it's origina-
tors, although it is very well known that a
Democrat was the author of it. The Re
publicans frequently charge that the Demo-
Gratis are insincere in the support they give
the law, coolly overlooking ne fact that a
Democratic President has done more for
civil service reform than any of his Repub-
hcan predecessors. 1t is therefore refresh
ing to find that in at least one section of the
country there are Republicans honest
enough to throw off the mask and confess
that they are opposed to the law.
The Board of Public Affairs of the city
of Cincinnati was created by theLegislature
of Ohio to assist in the government of the
city, and was charged with the management
of all departments of the government ex-
cept those of fire, police and education.
The Governor appointed five Republicans
to serve on the board, publicly saying at
the same time that he wanted it to represent
the Republican party. 1t seems that among
the city employees controlled by the
board were number of Demo-
Gratis, all of them thoroughly quail
fed for their duties and discharging
them faithfully and honestly This did not
please the Blaine Club, a Republican Or
ganization which has lately shown much
interest in the city's affairs. The club held
meeting and adopted resolutions requesting
the board to discharge the Democratic
employees. Accordingly, at its last meeting,
~
the request. He offered resolution which
declared that ''the so-called civil service
reform has proved delusion and a snare
under all administrations since its inception,
whether Republican or Democratic, either
in Federal, State or municipal
governmental The resolution also declared
that lit is the policy of this Board, with a
view solely to perpetuate the preponderance
for the public good of the Republican party
in this city, and by its example in every
Republican county and municipality in the
State of Ohio, that all appointments here
after made, or to be made, by it shall be
good, honest industrious Republicans. The
resolution was adopted, and the Democratic
employees We're discharged.
There is little doubt that the action of
these Cincinnati Republicans will be APP
plauded by the members of their party in
all parts of the country. If the Republi-
cans had control of the rational govern
ment they would quickly get rid of the
Democratic officeholders. The Republican
party has frequently nullified laws, and. if
it ever has the opportunity, it will do SO
again whenever it suits its purposes.
Democrats obey the laws and endeavor to
execute them to the letter. The course of
the present administration proves this.

Alabama Towns.

The real estate boom in the new Alabama
towns has been succeeded by a building
boom. Birmingham, Admission, Decatur,
Bessemer and other towns are improving
with wonderful rapidity. Less than a year
ago the site OF Bessemer was a forest. Now,
besides numerous dwellings, there are four
immense blast furnaces, a $500, 900 rolling
mill and four-story brick and stone news
paper office in course of erection. AT Biz
mingham there are many hundreds of houses
under contract, and hundreds IF thousands
of dollars are being invested in industries of
one kind and another The same spirit of
improvement is observable at Admission and
Decatur.
While millions of dollars of Northern
capital are being invested in these towns,
Southern men and Southern capital are
mainly instrumental in building them up.
The impression has, to some extent, been
spread abroad that Southern men have
little share in Alabama's industrial enter
prises II is a mistaken one. Southern
energy and talent are entitled to the credit
for most of them. No one of the growing
new towns have mushroom growth. They
nave u Sonu loulluulloii, anu dre ceIOdHl 10
realize all of the expectations
entertained of them. 1t is true
that in about oil of them speculation has
forced the prices of real estate higher than
they ought to be, but prices will soon
find their proper level, il they have not
already done so. The Improvements which
are now being made are so great that in u
comparatively short time the demand for
vacant lots will be as great as it has ever
been. and prices will doubtless advance
again. There is every reason TO think that
the future of the new Alabama towns will
be great one.

How Happy Bridal Couple Amused
the President and the Visitor s.
A dispatch from Washington 10 the New York
that found its way into the East Room to-day
to attend the Presidents tri-weekly reception.
He was dressed with scrupulous care. He wore
a new, well fitting suit of black broadcloth, the
sombreness of which was relieved by an ample
expanse of snowy shirt front. A jaunty white
scarf encircling his high 'choker,' as substitute
for his conventional black tie, completed his
costume He smiled with unusual graclousnesS
upon the pretty girls and young children, and
was quite as cordial and deterentla! as ever IN
his department toward the eldery callers.
''One of the newly married couples present
seemed to afford the President considerable
amusement. The husband occupied one of the
easy chairs. His bride sat in his lap. There
they billed and cooed during the entire recep-
ton They were apparently oblivious of their
surroundings but none Of those present were
oblivious of them. Every few minutes the
time their amusing antics caused broad smile
to illuminate his countenance.
Finally. when all his visitors had paid their
respects and the room was deserted, with the
exception of few newspaper men, the Presl-
dent crossed over to their corner and disturbed
their dream of love by suddenly asking II ne
could not have the pleasure of shaking hands
with them. The young husband was so CON
fused he nearly threw his bride to the floor IN
his effort TO gain his feet. The President, with
out apparently noticing their embarrassment,
chatted pleasantly with them few moments,
When they took their departure the President
gave them cordial grasp of the hand and in
they visited Washington, an invitation they were
not slow to accent. -"

Retain the Cadets

The naval officers and the officers of the
revenue marine service generally favor, it
Is said, the filling at vacancies iii the latter
service from the graduates of the naval
academy. Indeed there IS no very excellent
reason why the revenue marine should not
be part of the navy. The appointments
In the revenue marine are now made from
civil life, while many naval cadets. each
year, are given 81 600 each, and permitted
to retire to civil life because there are no
vacancies for them in the navy. Com.
Schley says that there is no reason why the
revenue marine should remain outside of
the navy and Com Walker says the same
thing.
The cadets who return TO civil life will,
except in few instances, be unfit for the
naval service in few years, and if they
should be needed they will not be ready to
respond. They viii become engrossed in
civil pursuits and win lose their inclination
for the naval service, Having been educated
at the expense of the public they ought to be
so employed as to be ready at all times to
serve the country in the service for which
they were prepared Those who do not get
appointments in the navy would rather go
into the revenue marine service than 10
enter civil life, and if that service
were Incorporated in the navy
it would afford them a splendid opportunity
to advance in their profession. The present
officers of the revenue marine favor being
incorporated into the navy, because it would
insure them better pay, and pension when
they became too old for service There is
no obstacle in the way of uniting the SER
vices that cannot be easily overcome.

We All Have to Work Up.

The Pacific Railroad Commission have been
examining Jay Gould. Their object was to OBJ
tain information that might shed light on the
shady transactions connected with that road.
The result was not satisfactory to the Commits
sioners. They might as well shear hydraulic
ram for wool as to question Jay Gould for infor-
nation he don't care to give.
Speaking of Jay Gould reminds us of little
incident that occurred in Galveston on the occa-
sion of Mr. Gould visit to that city some seven
years ago. Accompanied by q number of lead
ing citizens he was inspecting the Cotton Ex-
change, when small boy was seized by one of
the gentlemen just as the gamin was picking
the great railroad magnate's pocket.
What did the little fellow do?' asked Gould
HE stole your pocket handkerchief, Mr..
Gould, and am going to turn him over to a
policeman"
Don't do that" replied Mr.. Gould, smiling
good naturally, 'let him go. We should moi
discourage young beginners. had to start out
in modest way myself when went into the
railroad business" and reaching down in his
pocket Mr. Gould brought up quarter and
gave it to the boy, to encourage him to ain
higher.
